COSMETIC.

To (2Z5 whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEMUEL S. PENN, a, citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county. of Montgomery and titate of @hio, have inyentedc'ertain new a. d useful improvements in Cosmetics, olt which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. r

'lfhis invention relates to the preparation oi a novel composition of matter constituting an ointment particularly applicable to the cuticlecf the human body, more espe cially to-thc face, and has for its objects to provide such a cosmetic or an ointment as will give the effect of a face massage by merely spreading the ointment over the skin and allowing it to remain there for a certain length time. 1

til 5 The preparation comprises What is known as tullcrs earth which is mixed with Water in a particular Way, and may also contain a carmine coloring matter and some agreeable pertuming substance, such as oil oiiriolets-l T he particular method of mixing the tull'ers earth with the Water is as follows: The earth is first mixed with a slight amount of water and then boiled, then more Water is added slowly and the mixture still kept at the boiling point, and this procedure is repeated so as to retain the mass at a muddy consistency and always at the boiling point for about four or live hours. This tu'eparation or cosmetic in its final state a. semidiqnid. mass Which'is painted on the face with a brush to form a tliin coating and is then allowed to dry. In drying; the contracting of the preparation acts as a sort of massage to give color to the. i and thoinughly clean the cuticle when the lill'tlij'tiration is washed off. It is to be understood that the preparation in its final form as l mere mixing oi water with fullcrs earth Without this boiling procedure is not ctlica- Specification of Letters Patent.

cious and will not give the results derived from the composition of matter which I have above described, namely, the mixture produced by slow boiling and gradual addition of water. I also have found that mixing with this above described composition a small proportion of alcohol'has a still further beneficial. efi'ect, in that the alcohol during the drying action of the ointment, exercises a slight skin tightening effect which results in retaining for a long time the facial color produced by this lotion or ointment application.

llha t is claimed is as follows:

1. As a composition of matter, a cosmetic comprising a mixture of tullers earth and Water in a semi-liquid state capable of etfecting a drawing action upon the skin, produced by a slow boiling of said earth and water with the gradual addition of the Water during: the said boilingprocess.

a composition of matter, an ointiuent comprising a mixture of fuller-s earth and water in a semi-liquid state, produced by a slow boiling of said earth and Water with the gradual addition of thewater dur ing the said boiling process, in combination with a sutlicient proportion of alcohol to producca skin tightening eitcct supplemental to the massage effect of the earth, as de scribed.

23, A proccssi'or producing a skin massage cosmetic comprising mixing fullers earth with water to reduce the same to a semi liquid state, then slowly boiling this mixture, then gradually adding more Water during; the boiling process to replace the evaporated water and to retain. the mass at amuddy consistency and at the boiling point during the gradua addition of Water.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in the inresence o't two subscribing witnesses.
